摘要: Understanding protective mechanisms of antibody recognition can inform vaccine and therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2. We discovered a new antibody, 910-30, that targets the SARS-CoV-2 ACE2 receptor binding site as member public response encoded by IGHV3-53/IGHV3-66 genes. performed sequence structural analyses to explore how features correlate with neutralization. Cryo-EM structures 910-30 bound spike trimer revealed its interactions ability disassemble spike. Despite heavy chain similarity, biophysical IGHV3-53/3-66 antibodies highlighted importance native heavy:light pairings for competition defined paired signatures determined precursor prevalence be ~1 in 44,000 human B cells, consistent identification several convalescent COVID-19 patients. These data reveal key functional neutralization class accelerate antibody-based efforts
